Common Name: Red Watermilfoil
Myriophyllum tuberculatum, also known as the Red Watermilfoil, lives in the slow-flowing and stagnant waters of Southeast Asia and Australia. The species features vibrantly-colored, red and orange leaves that look like tree needles, but grow diagonally upward.
It is not an easy plant to cultivate. The M. Tuberculatum needs intensive light of at least 0.8 watts per liter, and high levels of CO2 injection. Nitrates should be kept to between 5 – 15 mg/l, and phosphates to between 1 – 2 mg/l. If either of these main nutrients falls below zero, the plant’s growth will be severely stunted. The species also need plenty of iron and micronutrients to reach its full size and color, or else it will end up as a dark and small plant.
Red Watermilfoil, if kept in the right conditions, will grow quickly to the water’s surface, where it will produce numerous lateral shoots and form a bushy configuration. One can trim the species by removing the old stem, and re-planting its upper part. (The rooted, lower part will sprout new shoots slower.) To propagate the plant, simply cut off a lateral shoot and re-plant it into the substrate.
With its rusty red/orange coloration, the Myriophyllum Tuberculatum is perfect for setting great accents, in the midground or background, or a Dutch-style “street.” The species is a fiery eye-catcher and accompanies the green Myriophyllum and Limnophila well. Its moderate size and fine leaves also make it usable in small tanks.

Notes:
| Native to Central and South America, Echinodorus grisebachii or popularly called Amazon sword plant is cultivated in freshwater bodies like ponds, lakes and even aquariums. Aquarists swear by the multifarious uses of Echinodorus grisebachii in aquariums. Depending on the growth conditions, this plant can attain a minimum height of 18 to 20 inches or even more. Aquarium hobbyists have used this versatile aquatic plant in many ways inside the aquarium; whether it is used as a background plant or mid-ground plant as a focal centerpiece, Echinodorus grisebachii works like a charm either way. Echinodorus grisebachii has relatively low demands for optimum growth inside the aquarium. It demands at least 3 to 4 inches of the substrate layer to accommodate its large roots. Appearance: Echinodorus grisebachii can attain a growth of 16 to 20 inches or more depending on the optimum growth conditions it is subjected to. It has large leaves that impart a beautiful contrast to its smaller counterparts. The leaves of Echinodorus grisebachii have a bright green coloration and new leaves may have a reddish or bronzish color. The leaves about 50 cm long and are submerged inside an aquarium. This plant often bears small white flowers with flat triangular petals. The leaf blades are lanceolate in shape. Ideal water temperature conditions: Echinodorus grisebachii prefers a warm tropical climate with temperatures ranging between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. Water pH conditions: It tolerates both soft and hard water and a wide range of pH levels between 6 and 8. Ideal lighting conditions: Echinodorus grisebachii prefers moderate lighting for optimum growth. In low lighting, the plant will grow at a very slow rate and fail to develop its characteristic large root system. Uses and advantages: 1) Aquascaping – Echinodorus grisebachii is best suited as a background plant in large aquariums. However, some aquarists also use this plant in the midground as a centerpiece. The rich green hue and large leaves are in perfect contrast to smaller leaves of other plant species. 2) The large foliage of this aquatic plant is a perfect breeding place for spawning fishes like angelfish. They also provide hideouts for small fishes and fry. 3) The large leaves cleverly conceal unsightly aquarium equipment in the tank such as heaters, cords, filter tubes, thermostats etc., thereby increasing the aesthetics of aquarium. Did you know? Cutting off the top part of the stem and replanting it into the nutrient rich substrate can easily propagate Echinodorus grisebachii. Soon, several plantlets grow that can be removed once roots appear. Over a period of time, they can produce many offsprings. | Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" is a beautiful variant of Hydrocotyle Tripartita that originates from South-East Asia. It is a wonderful stem aquatic plant with green leaves. The fast and compact growth makes it a great addition to the aquarium. When the right nutrients are provided, Hydrocotyle Tripartita attains a dense structure that increases the overall look of the tank. It can be used as a foreground or midground plant in aquariums and vivariums. You can also give a carpet like look to the tank with Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" by gently pressing the leaves. Earlier, Hydrocotyle Tripartita was not in aquarium use; however, with time, the different variants of this green plant came into being and were explored by the aquarists for aquarium use. You can buy the tissue cultured Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honds" for the best result. Advantages: There are multiple benefits of having a tissue cultured variant of Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" as the risk of pest infestation become negligible. Many times plants bought from pet stores bring pests with them that can hamper the growth of other plants. It is the reason why choosing tissue cultured Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" will ensure better results over normal Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" plant. Once you buy the tissue cultured plant, make sure to maintain water parameters within the prescribed range for its best growth. Light and other requirements: Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" is an easy to grow plant. It doesn't have any high or peculiar demand. Instead, medium intensity light and medium carbon dioxide supply will fulfil its demand. You can occasionally provide fertilizers to the plant to get greener flora and dense growth. With the right parameters, Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" attains good compact growth and reaches 5-10 cm in height. The intense green leaves on vertical stems look too good and compliment other aquarium plants as well. pH Requirements: The plant can thrive well under the pH requirements ranging between 5.5-8.0. How to Use: Although Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" is a foreground or midground plant, you can also use it as a carpet for the tank. All you need is when the plant attains around 5 cm height, gently press the leaves on the surface with the hand. The dense growth will give a beautiful carpet-like look to the tank. Care: Remove the tissue culture gel from the plant before introducing it to the tank. Clean it thoroughly with water and remove the gel with a soft brush or your hands. The gel may bring slight changes in the water parameters. Therefore, make sure it is completely removed from the plant before burying in the substrate. | Fissidens crispulus gained popularity in around 2004 under its synonym F. zippelianus as aquarium moss. It has its origins in the Asian tropics as well as in Africa, where it grows in spring sources as well as on various wet locations. As its shoot patterns remind the imaginative onlooker of a zipper, and in accordance with the scientific name F. zippelianus (named after the plant collector Zippelius), Loh Kwek Leong (Singapore) proposed the vernacular name "zipper moss". F. crispulus is a delicate Fissidens moss with relatively small leaves (around 2 mm long) on relatively long stems (up to 3.5 cm). | Note: This version is a bit more compact and thinner than ordinary dwarf hair grass.

PLANTING AND CARE
|
Common Name: Rosette Sword, Tropica Sword
Rosette sword plants are incredibly adaptable, making them a perfect choice for many types of aquariums. This stem plant grows in a rosette formation, producing long, pointed, light green leaves that have a hammered texture and prominent veins. It is more compact than other available sword plants. The bright color and coarse texture make this plant excellent for a mid- or foreground focal point.
With a nutrient rich substrate these plants will tolerate most lighting conditions, but moderate to high lighting is ideal. CO2 injection is not necessary but will help the plant grow faster if needed. An iron supplement may be needed in some tanks. Rosette sword plants will grow submersed or emersed, with emersed plants producing small flowers.
These plants propagate through side shoots off of their leaves, which can be trimmed and replanted into the substrate. To control the size of your Rosette sword plant you can remove the side shoots and older leaves.
